Chow Chun-chung Julian, associate professor of the School of Social Welfare at UC Berkeley and a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at CUHK, was invited by the Department of Social Work to hold a seminar titled ‘Welfare Reform and the Use of Welfare Services by Asian American Immigrants’ on 25 November, attracting nearly 100 teachers and students of the department. During the seminar, Professor Chow shared his research findings on the impact of welfare reform on Asian American immigrants and examined related welfare services available to this population. The seminar was very stimulating that participants not only gained insights into the current American social welfare provision, but also critically reviewed on the welfare reform policies in the US and its applicability in local communities. Professor Lau’s distinguished contributions to the centre. The late Professor D.C. Lau had devoted his time to the research of ancient Chinese texts after his retirement from CUHK in 1989. He established the CHANT Database and compiled The ICS Ancient Chinese Texts Concordance Series , which laid a solid foundation for the centre. Professor Lau had named the centre the sole beneficiary of his will before his death in April 2010.
